Googlie: The diplomacy screen only displays three messages at a time, so you can just press enter three times.

big_canuk: The game gives a tampering message if you so much as try to open the file.

Misotu · November 26, 2000, 20:29

echoed. In fact, if you even get to the password screen and then exit, the game will give a tampering message !!

Googlie · November 26, 2000, 22:37

TC:

I didn't know that - if I had hit enter 3 times it would have pushed everything else off the screen when I saved and exited?

I'm sure in other games I've sen more than 3 lines (maybe 3 incoming and 3 that I add, tho - presumably it will drop the first 3 when I save and exit)

Correct. It may display more lines on your turn if you have added some yourself, but only the last three will show up in your opponent's diplomacy screen.

Turn sent to Xwaste, via the new Aerospace Complex at Free Drone Central.

kidding about the complex, btw

wanted your hearts to race for a sec

Guys, we here at Free Drone Central have a problem.
In my last turn, I pressed the "end turn" button, and it confirmed Xwaste;s turn. However, Xwaste continually got my turn, even when I reloaded the last turn sent in to me, and replayed and sent it. What is going on, and how do I remidy it?

GOpher

XWaste · December 4, 2000, 18:26

The last one worked Gopher

So we're back, turn received and sent

jschwab · December 4, 2000, 20:30

2190 sent to Misotu.

This message brought to you by the Cyborgs that care at Alpha Prime...

JSchwab

Misotu · December 5, 2000, 18:49

And 2190 is now with Googlie.

Googlie · December 5, 2000, 19:19

2190 up on our shared xdrive for big_canuk

big_canuk · December 5, 2000, 20:20

Deimos: 2190 is on the xdrive for you!

All: Darn, another replay msg. This game is jinxed! And when I read the thread, you have told me that my experiment won't work anyway. I exited from the password screen, to check if I got a replay msg. Guess what?

Misotu · December 5, 2000, 20:40

Oi! Big_Canuck! Noooo!

(sorry. Brit TV reference. No excuse

)

Told ya. Learnt that from my first ever game on ACOL. Oh gawd, the embarrassment ...

Deimos · December 5, 2000, 22:48

MY2190 to Forman Gopher

gopher · December 8, 2000, 21:21

Turn to Xwaste the Angel.

P.S. AS of 14th of Dec, I will be traveling to South America for Christmas, and will not be able to play until Jan 9 (around). Sorry for the inconvienence

Misotu · December 8, 2000, 22:09

This is a really long delay ... could we get a substitute perhaps?

big_canuk · December 8, 2000, 22:14

But who would we be able to get to sub, as everyone is playing this game!

Googlie · December 8, 2000, 22:43

Maybe RedFred?

Misotu · December 9, 2000, 00:49

RedFred sounds good to me ... a sound player

Would you ask him Googlie?

XWaste · December 9, 2000, 04:16

2190 to JSchwab

jschwab · December 9, 2000, 11:10

2191 sent to Misotu.

JSchwab

Googlie · December 9, 2000, 11:26

I've e-mailed RedFred - no reply yet (only 7:20 on the west coast). Off to my golf game

RedFred · December 9, 2000, 14:32

I am certainly willing, but I'd sure like to avoid the embarrassment of not being able to unzip again. All zip utilities are not created equal. Could Deimos send me a sample file, any file, in a zipped state so that I can confirm that my program can handle his program? Provided I am able to unzip and Gopher is willing to let me fill in, I'll do it.

I am at rshypitka@hotmail.com

To the players other than Misotu and Googlie: I started another PBEM and my PC couldn't handle Misotu's zip program and so I caused a several week delay getting it sorted out.

Deimos · December 9, 2000, 14:52

RedFred,

The test file has been sent. Please let me know how it works out.

Thanks!

Misotu · December 9, 2000, 20:40

Sounds cool - hope it works out RedFred. 2191 has been sent to Googlie.

Googlie · December 9, 2000, 22:29

2191 x-driven to big_canuk

big_canuk · December 9, 2000, 23:08

2191 is on xdrive for Deimos

Deimos · December 10, 2000, 01:04

MY2191 to Forman Gopher

RedFred · December 10, 2000, 02:25

All systems are go.

I will be happy to sub for gopher. I'll try to read through the thread for clues to what has been happening and I've e-mailed gopher for details of his strategy.

RedFred · December 12, 2000, 15:38

I would like to point out that although there seems to be no worries with zip files, my other condition for sub-ing (gopher's permission) has not yet been met.

gopher, I expect things are busy for you if you are heading off on a big trip in a couple days, but I'd sure appreciate it if you could get back to me.
